Using Fidelity to buy stocks (very simple question)
Hey,
I just wanted to see what broker you use to buy stocks? I am with fidelity right now. Do they compare OK or are there better (cheaper) sites?

If all you're looking for is cheap commissions, there are plenty out there with lower commissions than Fidelity. Scottrade, TD Ameritrade, Ameritrade Izone (part of TD Ameritrade), Brown Co, I think even E-Trade is cheaper.

Pretty sure etrade is cheaper. Its what I use online, but really due to convenience and the fact that I am Canadian so it is more limited up here. Although TD Ameritrade is good and I might switch soon. Im not sure of the others, but the reason I like etrade canada is their cash optimiser accounts which pay high rates on US cash sitting around (good for a poker player like me)

Overall, Fidelity is the highest rated "Premium Discount" Broker according to SmartMoney Magazine for the fourth year in a row,
The Right Broker for You You can certainly find cheaper brokers. If you want lower commissions, then you might explore some of the "Deep Discount" brokers. I have accounts at both Fidelity and E*Trade. The service at Fidelity is much better. The commission prices at E*Trade are lower. I really miss HarrisDirect. They were better than both Fidelity and E*Trade.
